Dry Ice for Frozen Food Shipping

What Keeps Your Product Frozen in Transit

Dry Ice for Meal-Kit & Ready-Meal Brands

Blocks sized for standard meal-kit boxes, paired with insulated coolers for 2–3 day transit. Your pouches ship food-grade safe.

Dry Ice for Direct-to-Consumer Frozen Foods

Bulk pellets, blocks and coolers for 2-day ground transits. We schedule recurring supply around your fulfillment volume.

Dry Ice for Seafood & Premium Meats

Premium seafood and wagyu leave no room for gaps. We deliver dry ice and hard coolers same-day, in 1 hour when timing is critical.

Dry Ice for Bakery, Cakes & Ice Cream

Pellets pack tightly around delicate cakes and ice cream, subliming clean with no melt. Add coolers for multi-day shipping.

Dry Ice for Specialty & Gourmet Foods

Artisan cheese and premium chocolate need food-grade purity and flexible order sizes. Gel packs hold the gentler range these products want.

Dry Ice for Freight Forwarders & 3PL

Consolidating perishable cargo for your own clients? We deliver bulk dry ice to your warehouse or straight to the MIA and FLL cargo terminals, and re-ice shipments before departure. It’s the same air-freight cold chain we support for airport cargo forwarders.

Practical Guide

How Much Dry Ice Per Shipment?

Transit time, box size, and insulation level determine your dry ice per shipment. Here’s a practical starting point.

As a general guide: a well-insulated box needs roughly 5–10 lbs for overnight and 10–20 lbs for 2-day shipping. These are estimates — carrier handling and ambient temperature also affect actual sublimation. Always add a small buffer.

Overnight (≤24 h)
5–10 lbs per shipment box
2-Day shipping
10–20 lbs depending on box size
3+ Days / long-haul
20–30+ lbs — pair with gel packs

Quantities vary with box size, insulation quality, and ambient temperature. Use the calculator for your exact setup.

FAQ

Dry Ice for Food Shipping: FAQ

The questions food e-commerce buyers ask before they order — answered straight.

How much dry ice do I need per box?
It depends on transit time and box size. A general estimate: 5–10 lbs for overnight, 10–20 lbs for 2-day shipping. Use our free calculator for your exact dimensions. Carrier handling and ambient temperature also affect actual sublimation — always add a small buffer.
Can you supply dry ice on a recurring basis for my store?
Yes. We set up daily or weekly recurring delivery or pickup schedules for online food brands. Tell us your volume and frequency and we’ll build a supply plan, and a quote, around your fulfillment calendar.
Should I use dry ice blocks or pellets for food shipping?
Blocks sublimate more slowly — better for 2-day or longer transits. Pellets work for overnight or short shipments and are easier to distribute around irregularly shaped items. We carry both; we’ll recommend the right form for your product.
Do you deliver, or do I have to pick it up?
Both. We offer dry ice delivery exclusively within the state of Florida, or Next-Day Air for the rest of the US. Pickup is also available at our Miami facility during business hours. For recurring supply, we’ll set a delivery schedule that fits your packing days.
Is your dry ice food-grade and safe to use with food products?
Yes. Our dry ice is food-grade CO₂. It doesn’t contaminate food when handled correctly — keep it out of sealed containers and ensure adequate ventilation. It’s the standard cooling method for meal-kit brands, seafood shippers, and food e-commerce operations.
Can I combine dry ice with coolers and gel packs?
Absolutely. For 2-day or longer transits, pairing dry ice with an insulated cooler and gel packs extends your cold window significantly. We supply all three — dry ice, gel packs, and coolers — so you can source your entire cold-shipping kit from one place.
